XPerties Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 The Associated Press reports that a federal judge has ordered a Wisconsin cybersquatter to cease registering website addresses that "don't alert Internet users to the nature of the website's content within the domain name." The man was buying up domain names with slightly altered spellings of popular websites such as Coca-Cola, Pepsi, McDonald's, and The Washington Post. Cybersquatting is nothing new, but this judge's decision -- if upheld -- could radically change the way we think about URLs (if you think about them at all).
